There were no trains back to Birmingham New Street for West Bromwich Albion
fans last night, but taxis for Mick McCarthy were not in short supply.

A majority of the Wolverhampton Wanderers crowd were offering to facilitate
their manager’s departure long after West Brom had equalled their biggest
victory at Molineux since 1893, scoring five goals in a Barclays Premier
League game for the first time.

In stoppage time, the announcement came over the public-address system that a
fire had caused the cancellation of trains back across the Black Country but
McCarthy’s attempt to keep fighting fires is being tested
